AutoDropDown Property
True if a drop-down control opens when a character is typed.
column.AutoDropDown= boolean
Read/Write at run time and design time.
For columns with a built-in ValueItems combo box or associated TDBDropDown control, this property determines whether the drop-down control is displayed in response to keyboard input.
If True, the drop-down control automatically opens when the user types a character into a cell.
If False (the default), the user can only open the drop-down control by clicking the in-cell button or by pressing Alt + Down Arrow when a cell within the column has focus.
